The aim of this paper is to analyze consumers’ concern on farm animal welfare and their attitudes
towards animal friendly meat products to establish consumers’ segments. First, factors affecting consumers’
concern on farm animal welfare have been studied using an Ordered Probit model. Second, consumers’
segmentation based on their attitudes towards animal friendly meat products has been conducted
using a cluster analysis. With this purpose, a personal interview was carried out on a representative
sample of inhabitants in Zaragoza through a structured questionnaire. Results indicate that Spaniards
are concerned about farm animal welfare and women are more concerned than men. Moreover, people
who think on animal welfare issues in their food purchasing decision confirm having bought some animal
friendly meat product. Finally, those people more involved in the environment are also more concerned
with animal welfare. About half of the interviewed people are potential consumers of animal
friendly meat products since they are willing to purchase these products because they are more concerned
about animal welfare and show positive attitudes towards animal friendly meat products.
